info_outlineIt's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on Trump’s neo-con pivot for his administration, Israel’s failure to meet a US deadline to boost aid to Gaza (and the unlikelihood of repercussions), calls to annex the West Bank, final tallies on the US Senate race, the GOP’s House majority, and civil unrest in Haiti, also touching on the importance of organizing in the wake of this election, and diving deep into Congress’ ongoing fight to pass the “Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act” which would set the stage for Trump to abuse any non-profit that acts against him. Next, they parse through some of Trump’s overwhelmingly hawkish, neo-conservative choices for his administration, including notorious supporters of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, respectively, Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz. They also touch on Trump’s ability to differentiate himself from the “establishment” GOP, despite wanting all of the same things, and tackle his über-concerning agenda against higher education in the US. They wrap up the free half with the importance of being militant about the lessons the Left (and Democrats) learn from this election, and discuss the future direction of the show.
And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma talk with Gilbert from California about what to expect from a GOP trifecta, unpack AOC’s Q-and-A with joint AOC-Trump voters, and explore Israel’s unsurprising response to the US election (more exuberant, unchecked violence). They also talk with RM Brown about his work with the Tim Pool Research Foundation, before doing their own deep dive into Sam’s Halloweekend appearance on Tim Pool, including Tim’s open acknowledgment of his refusal to do any research beyond reading a subheading. Kevin from Columbus touches on the “your body, my choice” trend, and the importance of community organizing, and the MR Team unpacks RFK’s wild pitch for a spot in the Trump administration, with some help from Kowalski from Nebraska, plus, your calls and IMs!
